The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for All Your Gaming Needs?
PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller promising compatibility across a wide range of devices. From consoles to cars, the P5 boasts advanced features, but will it meet gamers' needs?
Mobile gaming often gets overlooked in the controller market, despite its popularity. While snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility remains limited, usually restricted to Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to change this, claiming compatibility far beyond the norm.
Beyond PC and console support, the P5 targets Nintendo Switch, in-car systems, and mobile devices. It features Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity.
Priced at £29.99, the P5 will be available through PXN and Amazon. Its claimed compatibility extends to PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla vehicles!
Cross-Platform Compatibility: A Challenging Market
PXN is a relatively unknown brand, but the market for truly cross-compatible mobile controllers is fiercely competitive. While dedicated smartphone controllers are lacking, increased options are always welcome.
The most surprising aspect of the P5 is its Tesla compatibility. While niche, it caters to a specific segment of gamers.
